Learning Spanish

 The terrible invaders from the south built our patio, built our house, did the drywall, the counters in the kitchen, and the landscaping in the front yard. Actually they are wonderful hard working people. Their work ethic makes Americans look like lazy bum walkers. 

Kadizzle and Winky cannot help but admire and like these people. They are all so nice, such fun, and family oriented. When the Republicans harass the people who want to come to this country and work hard it is very upsetting. After watching these guys put in a long hard day in the sun we have now become accustomed to giving them more money than they asked for. They deserve it far more than the poor little rich guys that inherit if from dad. The rich are the real welfare cheats. 

Exploiting cheap labor is the bread and butter of Arizona. Try to fence these people out, but if they do make it treat them like slaves. 

Now to the Spanish. Most of the people who show up at our house speak little if any English. Usually just the boss speaks English. It has been educational and fun trying to communicate. 

Yesterday Kadizzle got into a whole new realm of communication. The guys putting in the artificial grass started communicating the old fashioned way with hand gestures and simple words. Then the phones broke out. These guys used their phones to translate. Kadizzle enjoyed sitting in the shade going back and forth using the phones to translate. Carlos would say something into his phone, and then hand the translation to Kadizzle. 

Why not simply solve the crises at the border? The people should be allowed to come. Here is a simple solution. You come to the border, you get your picture taken, you finger prints, and you DNA. Then you get a permit to live and work in the U.S. for six months. After six months if you have been good, paid taxes, and no crimes you get another six months, then a year, then three years, and then you are a citizen. Short, simple and easy, but no, immigration is like abortion, it is the perfect political fodder. Our economy desperately needs workers. White kids just don't get anything done. Two nice young teenagers are trying to work for Ricki in his paver business. The kids work, but also spend a lot of time on the phone. Yesterday Kadizzle asked where was kid number two. Kadizzle calls them biscuit and gravy. Well, gravy took the day off to go to Prescott for a concert. 

The Mexicans do not take a day off in the middle of the week to go to a concert. Biscuit and Gravy use their money to buy typical teenage nonsense. The Mexicans send money home to their parents. 

Now who do you root for? Donald Trump and his gang of liars calls the people who want to live like we do rapist, drug smugglers, and miscreants. Really? Republicans always pick on the minorities. It might be black people, it might be women, it might be the poor, but you can count on Republicans to demonize those with less. Never, do the Republicans attack the greedy and power hungry.
